Midwifery Today's mission is to return midwifery care to its rightful position in the family; to make midwifery care the norm throughout the world; and to redefine midwifery as a vital partnership with women. Midwifery Today began solely as a magazine in 1986. Since then, it has grown into a business that publishes a quarterly magazine. Midwifery Today is both for and by birth practitioners.

Due to time constraints, I was informed that we could have exactly two slides in the final PowerPoint presentation, which seemed not enough to make even a brief report on our Mercy In Action birth center outcomes in the Philippines.

Many in the world today depend on good vibes, energy, or spiritual enlightenment as their higher power. They tap into their higher powers through a variety of practices. My higher power of energy, wisdom, spiritual knowledge, and life carries the name Living God, Creator of the universe and my Savior. I connect with God through prayer. I find my strength in Him. He is my rock, fortress, and strength.

It all started on August 21, 1996. The phone rang as I was heading out the door on my way to work the 7 pm to 7 am shift in the ICU of the local hospital. It was a man from the Old Order Mennonite community about an hour away from me. He said baby #8 was due September 20, 1996. He said she was “feelin’ poorly” and they couldn't get a hold of the midwife they had used before, so could I come “check her out?”
